MRS. M’CARTER REFUSES TO GIVE AGE AT THE POLLS

Topeka, Kans., July 15.—Woman suffrage and women’s clubs leaders generally today rallied to the support of the position taken by Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter yesterday in refusing to give her age when she went to register as a voter. Mrs. McCarter declares she will contest the ruling which was based on a decision of the attorney general that a woman can not register unless she gives her age more definitely than “over 21.” “It’s a dub the men held over the women to prevent them from voting,” declared Mrs. Lila Day Monroe, woman lawyer, and well known suffragist.
